    Actually the September numbers are the raw data. Valve takes about 2 weeks to clean them up. So the actual numbers for September will change. Valve could easily clear up the confusion by simply adding a date to the chart. It is what they do with the range plots alreay. BTW the Intel vs AMD cpu pie chart is suffering from the same problem as the GPU pie chart.

    if you clicked "yes" in the past, it means you gave Steam the OK to collect and send the info at any time
